Cut three lengths of Black yarn measuring about 4-inches long. Holding the strands together run them through each stitch of the base peice and attach them like fringe. Finish working until every stitch has been filled. * The total number of cut strands you will need depends on how thick/thin you want the Mane to be. When finished, trim the ends of the yarn to style the Mane any way you wish. Tie off and trim all loose threads.

Finishing: Cut five lengths of yarn measuring 7-inches long. Holding the strands of yarn together, attach them like fringe to the back of the Body to create a Tail; trim the ends of the yarn to the desired length.

Using the Black yarn, stitch one eye onto either side of the Horse's Head. Tie off and trim all loose threads.
